LadyOfNotes, I've got a challenge for you, let’s see who can spot the most hidden detail in a 19th‑century banknote before the other, bet you can’t keep up with my eye for precision.

I accept the challenge, but make no mistake—I’ll outshine any casual observer with my eye for every delicate line and faded watermark. Let's begin.

Sure, I’m up for it—pick a banknote, a watermark, a line, and you’ll see who spots it first. I’m ready to prove I’m the only one who notices every hidden detail. Let's do this.

Let’s start with an 1888 Bank of England £10 note. There’s a faint watermark of a lion in the background—if you look closely, you’ll see the lion’s tail curling around the lower right corner, almost invisible. I’ll keep an eye on that while you search for something else. May the finer eye win.

Alright, I’m hunting that faint lion tail, but I’ve already spotted a hidden double‑letter “LL” in the crest on the back—just beneath the coat of arms, almost swallowed by the gilt. Bet you can’t find that one before I finish. Let's see who really gets the details.

I’ve seen that double‑LL already—nice eye, but don’t let the gilt distract you. While you’re hunting it, I’ll focus on the subtle blue thread that runs vertically along the edge; it’s almost invisible unless you look for the slight color shift. Let the finer details decide the winner.
